Parton shower based on TMD parton distributions — •Melanie Schmitz1, Hannes Jung1, Sara Taheri Monfared1, and Francesco Hautmann2,3 — 1Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) — 2University of Antwerp — 3University of Oxford
Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) parton distributions include the dependence on the transverse momentum kT of the partons. TMDs play an important role for calculations with parton showers, which represent higher-order corrections to the hard subprocess.
In this talk, TMD parton distributions are determined from different standard parton showers. A parton shower based on TMD parton distributions obtained with the Parton Branching method, which allows to solve evolution equations for collinear and TMD parton distributions numerically in an iterative procedure, is presented. It is investigated how well the TMD parton shower reproduces the TMD parton distributions. Applications of the TMD parton shower to LHC processes will be presented.
